Watch 50 Cent & Chuck D Mentor Students, Urging Them to Turn Their Lives Around in SundanceTV Series 'Dream School'

SundanceTV’s “Dream School: NYC,” which premiered last Wednesday,
October 1st at 10pm ET/PT, takes on a new class of students who have dropped out or been expelled from
the conventional school system and offers them a real chance to graduate.

At “Dream School: NYC” kids
who were the hardest to reach via a traditional school curriculum, receive lessons firsthand from leaders
in various fields. The mentors have made it their personal duty to educate students and help them turn
their lives around. However, overcoming past failures will prove to be no easy task for both the students
and teachers.

Joining Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Jamie Oliver as executive producers for
season two is one of hip-hop’s most influential and positive voices, Chuck D. 50 Cent and Chuck D are
no strangers to overcoming adversity in order to succeed. Together, they head to New York with a
new roster of mentors to take on 15 students that are in desperate need of inspiration.

SundanceTV President, Sarah Barnett, stated: “The journey of these young students as they struggle to
rewrite the script of their lives is inspiring and at times explosive. Their “Dream School” guides are an
impassioned group of influencers and celebrities who passionately try to help these students forge a fresh
future for themselves. This is unscripted television that feels every bit as dramatic as scripted
storytelling.”

In an effort to allow students to realize their full academic potential, SundanceTV has partnered with New
York City’s renowned Beekman School, known for personalizing their approach to education according
to each student’s unique abilities. Through this accredited program, each student will be granted an
opportunity to graduate high school. Leading the charge to higher education is LouAnne Johnson, former teacher, and author of the New York Times bestseller, “Dangerous Minds” (originally “My Posse Don’t
Do Homework”). Johnson will serve as principal at “Dream School.”

The show is produced by Fresh One Productions, the production company launched by Jamie Oliver and
its Emmy award winning executive producer Roy Ackerman.

The show is also produced by 50 Cent’s G-Unit Films
and Television. His producing partner Andrew Jameson also serves as Executive Producer. Nicole
DeFusco and Jonathan Grosskopf will executive produce for SundanceTV.
